N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 9 § 6215.6 - Construction of rules; substantial compliance
(a) Except as specifically set forth herein,
these rules shall be liberally construed and technical defects shall be
disregarded where there has been substantial compliance and where a strict
construction is not required for the prevention of fraud.
(b) The failure to obtain an identification
number or inscribe an identification number on one or more petitions or
petition volumes shall not render any such petition or petition volume invalid.
The officer or board receiving such petition or petition volume shall assign
identification numbers to such petition or petition volumes, shall inscribe the
identification number upon the petition or volume, and shall record the
identification number of such petition or volume. In such instances, the person
or persons submitting the petition or petition volume for filing shall be
deemed to be the applicant for the identification number, or in the event the
persons submitting the petition or petition volume, cannot be identified, the
candidates named on the petition or petition volume shall be deemed to be the
applicant or applicants.
